How well Outback holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 17°, Outback gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 8,470 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
